So I play chess

Chapter 40
Zheng Tong had already made up his mind to negotiate a deal with Wen Gu.

But how could the other family give him this opportunity first, the Zheng family has ears in the government office, and the other family also has ears in the Zheng residence.

Zheng Tong was preparing a meeting gift for the prefect's aunt, and the masters of each family came to Zheng's house one by one to pay their respects.

Zheng Tong saw that he couldn't hide the matter, so he didn't hide it at all, and invited them into the main hall politely.

All the gentlemen who had been fighting for half their lives met each other, and they revealed all their thoughts to each other. Everyone sat in the main hall separately, and a few people gathered together to make a plan.

Mr. Zheng sat upright in the hall, and spoke first: "You must have heard that Liu Zhu, who can't get in the water, was scolded by his own aunt."

"Yeah, that Liu Zhuo is really too muddy. When did he decide Tongcheng? Now that he has a little bit of power in his hands, he doesn't know how powerful the world is!" Another master surnamed Wang said, opening his mouth with a fiery temper.

The master of the Sun family took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You can't say that, this Tongcheng is still in the hands of the prefect."

Master Wang said disdainfully: "He is a master of fart, so don't we know how much Liu Zhu has? If he is really capable, Yang Wantang can ride on his neck for so many years? As for us, we should accept that Yang So many years?"

Master Sun didn't even raise his eyes, and said: "Yes, now that Yang Wantang has finally fallen, it's your turn to ride on the eunuch's neck to show off your prestige, Master Wang."

Master Wang put down the teacup and said angrily: "Hey, Sun, what you said is not authentic, what's the matter? You came here today for this matter? Either you turn around and go back home, we still have to discuss business matters Woolen cloth."

Mr. Sun replied: "Master Zheng has the final say on the business. If you, Mr. Wang, set aside the business that is being discussed at the banquet, it is too late for me to avoid it. How can you talk to me?"

The two lords, Sun Wang and Sun Wang, are not rushing to the current affairs with their tempers inside and outside the words.

The Wang family started out as a water transport merchant, and in the early years they picked up the business that leaked from the fingers of the Cao Gang. Later, the Southern Chu court issued a ban on the Cao Gang, and within three years they disappeared from the territory of Southern Chu.The Wang family, who originally followed the Cao Gang for living, took over this business from the imperial court, relying on their enshrining at Yang Wantang and their familiarity with water and water transport over the years.

Since then, turning over once in a while is not the same.

As for the Sun family, they are in the business of gambling halls, and have never dealt with officials in the open. They are also one of the few big families in Tongcheng who do not associate with Yang Wantang.

Yang Wantang is wearing the skin of an imperial court, and it is not easy to intervene in this kind of business.At the beginning, he used Liu Zhuo's hand to look for the Sun family's bad luck.However, this Sun family's subordinates are all desperadoes, he took advantage of it today, and secretly demolished Yang Wantang's place tomorrow.

The two sides fought fiercely back and forth several times, although Yang Wantang had the upper hand in comparison, each was injured in the end.This matter of the Sun family was thankless to Yang Wantang, and the Sun family did not think about expanding their business before doing other things.The two sides sat down and talked for a while, and then they restrained themselves and gave up, forgetting not to communicate with each other.

But Yang Wantang is so easy to get along with.

The matter on the surface was settled, but the anger in my heart couldn't bear it.Yang Wantang mentioned several times to the Wang family, asking them to find the Sun family's bad luck, but his own hands are not his own troubles.

Relying on Yang Wantang, the Wang family had no choice but to follow suit, but it was only a superficial movement, and they dared not move their bones.The Sun family didn't know about this, but Master Sun didn't want to have a head-on confrontation with him, Yang Wantang.Just spread this anger on the head of the Wang family.

The beams of the two families were thus formed.

Now in the Zheng family's mansion, seeing the two masters, Sun and Wang, drawing their bows and drawing their swords, they were about to tear their faces apart, so Zheng Tong coughed twice and called "you two" twice.

Seeing Zheng Tong's voice, Master Wang, who had already stood up, flicked his sleeves and sat back down.Master Sun also calmly picked up the teacup again and began to drink tea.

Zheng Tong cleared his throat and said: "Back then, that bandit Yang committed a heinous crime. Not only did he bully me, but he even threatened the prefect, causing so many disasters in Tongcheng. Let alone business, even if we were alive, we were all terrified. , Everyone is unhappy, and so am I."

Zheng Tong said, his eyes glanced around in front of all the masters on the spot, and finally fell on Master Sun's face: "Everyone has some complaints about the prefect, but none of us know how powerful Thief Yang is. The prefect Liu has tried his best for many years, and he can't bear it." Fa, as soon as he acted, he took Tongcheng back, returned peace to everyone, and returned the blue sky to the common people. This ability is something that neither you nor I have."

These masters all understood.Zheng Tong's few words are to set the direction for them.

They have to respect Liu Zhu as the prefect.

But it is absolutely impossible for Zheng Tong to let go of such a large business.Otherwise, they wouldn't see those boxes piled up in the yard when they entered the door.

From the looks of it, the gift that Zheng Tong prepared was heavier than that given to the Liangzhou Army.

But since they are here at this time, they must not let Zheng Tongyi eat alone.Now that everyone had made up their minds, they were not in a hurry to speak, waiting for Zheng Tong to complete the play by himself.

Zheng Tong was even more clear in his heart, and when he said it, he didn't blush and his heart skipped a beat. He sorted out all the useless things that Liu Zhu had done over the years, and recounted it from the perspective of the eunuch who retreats to advance and foresight.

Zheng Tong said this set of words as soon as he opened his mouth. He himself felt that in this kind of scene, as long as the obedient ones are willing to listen, the talking ones have no embarrassment in speaking.

All the masters agreed one after another. After Zheng Tong finished speaking, he circled around and returned to the prefect's aunt.

"The eunuch's opening of the public inspection is because of the consideration of Tongcheng. This aunt of the eunuch, relying on her status as an elder, and the little credit she has made, just wants to defeat the eunuch. It's nothing to you. benefit."

As soon as Master Wang heard that the words were wrong, he hurriedly said: "Is it wrong, Master Zheng? Let's talk behind closed doors. The past is good for you and me. What's so good about this public test now?"

Zheng De let out a long sigh, and said, "Master Wang, how many loopholes did that thief Yang take advantage of in the past, can you still mention this matter in the territory of Tongcheng under the control of Liu Taishou?"

Master Wang said: "Then we can't say that the public inspection is good!"

Zheng De shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter whether the public inspection is good or not, the key is who is in charge of the public inspection. The prefect is over forty this year, and his aunt is more than fifty years old. She is a woman, just short-sighted. Since the prefect Liu If you want to open a public test, we will help him open it."
